There was an U90kg comp held in NI this year..
I read on one of the strongman pages on facebook that they were looking at holding one in the republic next year..

Yeah I remember hearing something about that. Any idea what the events were?! I'll have to look around and see if I can find them.

Here we go;

• Farmers Walk, Yoke & Carry Medley - This event started the competition - the competitors had to lift & carry a cast iron disc weighing 90kg 15m, run back and pick up 2 x farmers walk 100 kg in each hand and carry them the length of the course, run back and pick a massive 260kg Yoke and carry the length of the course. Fastest time wins!

• Steel Log Lift – Maximum weight overhead - Heaviest weight pressed wins!

• Arm over Arm rope pull - Each competitor had to pull a bunch of heavy chains with added weights totally 350kg (over 55 stones) 15m from a seated position arm over arm for the fastest time or furthest distance

• Stones of Strength – 4 massive atlas stones ranging from 90kg to 126kg - Fastest time to find the winner

• Deadlifting – Repititions in a frame lifting a massive Cast iron Axle - Most reps wins!

• Beer barrel loading – 4 Barrels loaded onto platform - Fastest time or most barrels loaded = the winner!

SERIOUS session in Raw today with L, G86, Cardio and COH. The gym's savage. Really, REALLY like the place. Would love to train there regularly but it's just too awkward to get to.

My lifting went great. Haven't power cleaned in 2-3 months and I'm still at 93% of my PR while weighing slightly less.

Pressing was grand, even tho I'd a big session yesterday and the day before I didn't feel hindered.

Decided to play with the fat bar cos it was there.... it's really nice putting it over head. Tried 120kg 3 times and just couldn't get it thru. I suppose I'm not at 100% cos of all the volume recently so I shan't complain.

Squatting was incredible. Dunno where it came from. Again, first time in about 2-3 months I've actually back squatted... and even during that time it's been all moderate front squats and no real heavy lower body work, just ultra high frequency with the thrusters and front squats. Guess the break from heavy stuff was beneficial. Couldn't go fully low bar cos of my shoulder, but am confident I could hit 210+ with a bit of actual training.

There was a strongman competitor in doing fat bar clean and presses (2 inch bar - the same size as the olympic bar sleeves) so I had to try them. Failed miserably with 60kg, asked him how to do it and I just kept going. Definitely like the movement.

The prowler's a disgrace. Disgusting piece of equipment.

I did various bar muscle ups, C2B pull ups and ring pull ups all the way thru as well...

Everyone lifted well too, gratz to G86 on finally sacking up and DL'n near PR weights again.

Also a huge shout to COH for sorting us out today. Really appreciated buddy, we'll have to get together and train soon.

that sticking point on the push press was unbelievably high, well sorted for it.

squats where very fast btw.

What did I say to you about not forcing thru and pushing back on presses?! Pot..kettle much?

The 200kg didn't feel too bad tbh, my hamstring's just flexed too hard for my liking and they were already tender from CP earlier in the week so I left it cos there was no point injuring myself after already hitting a PR.

Happy out. Still not recovered full from Strongman on Sunday. Little bit sluggish thru everything today. The 210kg moved smoothly. Wouldn't be "fast" but not a grinder either. 220kg x2 next week'll go alright.

The circuit was grand, +10 on the SLDLs and GM's, +5 on the rows. Might move up +5kg on the chins too.

Back's feeling ok after it nearly exploded lapping the 140kg stone on Sunday, but there feels like there's some SERIOUS knots around my left scap/trap. Damn thing felt like it was gonna tear right off today. I'll get rolling on it tonight.

FCUK.MY.LIFE the pain I was in all the way thru was unbearable. My upper back is absolutely DESTROYED. The only time I've ever exp'd pain this bad was prep for this years nationals with my elbows. Had to stop training 2x and make my way to a bin cos I thoguht I was gonna spew from the pain.

Benching was mneh. Shoulda got more with 125 but I guess I was in a serious amount of pain and had done a good bit of work beforehand. Up 2.5kg next week.

HS bench was grand. Piece of cake. 5kg more next week.

Had to take easy weight curls this week in the hopes of protecting my upper back a bit. Felt alright on them. The machine curls were sh!t form wise but whatever.

HS seated press was grand. Horrible getting into position, but alright after that.

Kev M programmed for me today. I did my Bradford Presses and had no idea what else to do so I left it up to him. Nice pump from everything and my upper back got thru it alright as well. Lil bit stiff to one side now, but seems to be easing out daily so hopefully that'll continue.

Went to watch the lads event train afterwards, cleaned and pressed a 75kg log to see how I felt, "stiff" was the answer. Glad I didn't try to train wit them today.

Not a whole lot done, just getting some movements in. Benching was REALLY easy today. Woulda loved to get a tight set up and take a crack at 130 x5+

Decided to do some triceps today to compliment my bicep workout yesterday.

Pulldowns were aggravating my neck a lil so I left them alone.

Seriously, PISS OFF!!!

If I take a break and go hard at my over head press for 3 weeks would that be ok?
